Migrate Chat History#
Use chat migration to bring existing conversation history from a supported assistant into OptScale AI Chat.
The migration workflow has two stages:
- Export conversation history from the source assistant.
- Import the downloaded export into OptScale AI Chat.
After import, previous conversations are available in Chat. New messages use the providers, models, policies, and guardrails configured for the OptScale AI organization.
For the import procedure, see Manage Chats and Projects — Import chats.
Export conversation history#
Export from ChatGPT#
-
Sign in to ChatGPT.
-
Open your profile menu and select Settings.
-
Open Data Controls.
-
Under Export data, select Export, then confirm the export request.
-
When the export is ready, use the link in the OpenAI notification to download the ZIP archive.
-
Keep the ZIP archive for import into OptScale AI. Do not extract it.
Note
ChatGPT data exports may take time to prepare, and the download link is available only for a limited period. If the link expires, request another export.
Export from Claude#
For an individual Claude account:
-
Open Claude on the web or in Claude Desktop.
-
Click your initials and select Settings.
-

Individual data export is available from the Claude web app and Claude Desktop, but not from the Claude mobile apps. The download link expires after 24 hours; if it expires, request another export. Export availability and controls may differ for Team or Enterprise organizations.

If you also need Gemini Gems data, Google provides a separate Gemini selection in Takeout. Chat history and other Gemini Apps activity are included through My Activity → Gemini Apps.
After import#
Imported conversations appear in the Chats list.
From the Chats list, review imported conversations, add them to projects, rename or delete them, or continue them using the provider and model currently selected in OptScale AI Chat.
New messages use the providers, models, policies, and guardrails configured for the OptScale AI organization. They are not sent through the original assistant account or subscription.
If an import fails, verify that:
- The export comes from a supported source.
- The source export completed successfully.
- The uploaded file uses a format supported by OptScale AI.
- The target Organization is selected in Chat.
For import steps, see Manage Chats and Projects — Import chats.
